for the appropriate fee Novell customers also get essentially the right to use our patented intellectual property. And I think it’s great the way Novell stepped up to kind of say intellectual property matters. People use Red hat, at least with respect to *our* intellectual property in a sense have an obligation to eventually compensate us.
Now, Mr Balmer, precisely what “patented intellectual property” are you talking about here ? Please be specific, patent numbers would be very handy..
Or are you just trying on a shakedown with vague threats to see what easy protection money may come your way now that Vista and Office 2007 aren’t selling so well ?
Thanks Novell, for nothing..
